Spades and Silk: "The fashion industry can get us jazzed, and even obsessed, over a new
outfit or style that we just have to have for this season. And we love
it, because it makes us look and feel good. ... We all do this from time to time, without thinking about all the
negative effects, whether that applies to our financial lives, or the
aspects of production behind what we are buying. Unfortunately, on the
production end there can be a lot of negative effects hitching a ride of
hem of your cheap garment. And it is important to be informed."

Radical simplicity "how do we get people to live within the means of
nature and not feel deprived?"
